so i'm at work, headed to the gent's after lunch, and when i get in there, my zipper breaks. not your typical stuck, but catastrophic breakage, where it comes apart while the zip is still at the top. it's done, fused, no go. i've tried all the tricks. i'm gonna have to cut/break, and get it repaired at a tailor.

of course, now i need to use the gent's and can't lower my pants, because they are fitted dress slacks, and nice, and not baggy. plus i look like i'm walking around with my fly undone. terrific. let's get the input as to what i should do. currently i'm ok with the bathroom need to go situation, but that MAY change.

empty your pockets out and pull the pocket liner out through the zipper hole, now run around the office making elephant noises chasing the hotties.. Im sure they will give you the rest of the day off... just a thought.


just kidding, shit happens. im sure your boss will understand..

any one you can call to bring you a new set of pants??

no it's really not that big of a deal, i just wanted to get a little collateral amusement out of this situation, which is pretty par for the course for my life.

That's actually a good idea. Staples are small and not really noticable.

Paste a post it note by the opening and cover the hole. You can even write a note saying out of order or under repair.

untuck your shirt, if someone in an authoritative position asks you why, simply, quietly explain the situation, anybody that is a reasonable manager/boss/ etc will understand and either let you run home or tell you to continue on with your shirt untucked.
One day while checking my tire pressure on my lunchbreak i ripped the seam of my pants right below my zipper, my boss let me break dress code and leave my shirt untucked to cover it.

or...just take some tissues stuff em in there...make sure some are sticking out, get a red magic marker add some red blots to the tissues...then run around asking if anybody has seen a giant trouser snake around the office...inform them that you don't often let it off the lease but that this time it simply ripped it out of your hand...make sure your eyes dart around and every once in a while your hand should twitch

kind of late but you could've waited around till someone said something and just act like you didn't know. "OOh! that's where that breeze was coming from ;)"
